[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You get what you pay for....in long island where they pay teachers top dollar, you have hundreds of applicants vying for slots.   This is true in most any profession....if you want the best and brightest then you must compensate them better than others (or offer other unbeatable benefits )[/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]As a school employee looking to move to the area, I was most interested in Montgomery County Public Schools because the pay and the benefits were better than any neighboring district.  Money talks[/quote]

It may attract top talent but the environment is very much about nepotism.  So it's not always the best qualified person will get the job and it's not uncommon to see family members or their extended family members working in the system.

Then once they get the job it is very hard to push them out if they don't perform well and they still get the same raises every year as everyone else.

Many of the people within the school system are great at what they do, regardless of how they got their job.  But there are low performers that reaps the same benefits as the people that bust their butts everyday on the job.[/quote]
